Chapter 6-1 Part 2

A few things to keep an eye on as this fight ensues. First of all, not all of the enemies will drop out of the container that opens up and lets most of them into the location in the first place. Some will drop down from other areas, and one will stay in the container chucking explosives into the field of play. Take out that guy as soon as humanly possible, since he is a huge nuisance. Also, keep moving around as much as you can to dodge any damage. None of these foes will be armed with firearms, which is good, but their Stun Rods and explosives can still do massive damage if they go unchecked. Thankfully, the last foe killed here will give up the Crane Keycard, which is an item we'll need to use to proceed with freeing your partner and continuing with our mission.

With the keycard in hand, wield your gun and shoot at the elevated green switch next to the open container, which will lift the obstruction you earlier observed. This will lead directly to the locked door we found earlier, which can now be unlocked by using your newly-found Crane Keycard. Head on through the door and up the stairs you encounter. This will lead to a lengthy pathway heading leftward towards a gigantic tower (be sure to take out the enemy on your right that appears, as well, since he'll attempt to ambush you). Wield your sniper rifle and aim ahead and above to take out the enemy (or enemies, if you can see them all) occupying the tower before you actually climb it. Then, climb on up until you can't climb up anymore, taking out any remaining foes you couldn't kill from below. Use the switch here to lift the cage surrounding your partner. Don't worry about him or her getting out of dodge, as your freed partner will quickly scurry up a nearby ladder before the vicious dogs can do any damage.

BSAA Emblem #28 - When you backtrack all the way to the area where the cage once trapped your helpless partner, you're in the vicinity of the first of three BSAA Emblems to be found on Chapter 6-1. In fact, if you find all three emblems on this chapter, you'll have found them all (if you've been following our walkthrough up to this point). Remember the elevated storage container that opens up and releases all of those enemies? Well, now that the enemies are dead and your partner is free, you have time to focus on that container without being attacked. The emblem you seek is inside the container, but to destroy it, you'll need to artfully chuck a grenade in there. This isn't as hard to do as it sounds, but it's certainly obscurely-hidden, nonetheless.

With your partner freed, the emblem above acquired, and with the vicious dogs that show up after your partner is freed slain, you can climb up the ladder on the far end of where the cage once was to proceed. Collect all of the goods here -- you should be able to find both a Red Herb and Green Herb here if you're in need of health. Then, with your back facing the way you came, continue forward, ignoring the first branch to your right for now. You should come across several storage containers that are staggered in their placement. This will allow you to jump from one to the next. You can thereby access the safe at the end of the containers, which contains thousands of in-game dollars. Just remember that you will be assailed by four enemies or so here when you begin jumping across, so get ready to fight! Remember that the armored enemies you've been encountering on this chapter require heavy firepower to down.

With the money in hand and that small wave of foes downed, backtrack to the section we earlier told you to ignore, near the ladder you used to climb up to this area. When you arrive, you'll see a bit of a puzzle, with two lifts that somehow need to be used for both partners to get up to the area above. However, before you worry about that, utilize your weaponry to take out the pair of obese Majini you find here, being certain that you grab two more Jewel Bangles that they drop once dead. Then, although we tell you to have your partner equipped with only a Stun Rod, you'll want to equip him or her with a weapon of your choosing for this time only. It's required. Once the gun is equipped on your partner, go to one of the two yellow lifts, and your partner will go to the other. Let your partner take aim at and shoot the button your lift to allow you access to the area above first. Then, return the favor so that both lifts are activated.
